Mine is the School of Life

My school has no walls or ‘administrators’ No hall passes or bells Mine is the school of life ‘On-the-job training’ without a life coach Every day a new challenge a rare opportunity a singular test or two

And mine had no particular mentor. Thankfully had person or two jolt me with their words that electrified my brain to gain perspective, enlightenment. Of course, I have God and He is my light!

on-the-job training creates depth and wisdom. Sometimes the only coach any of us have is God himself, right? He's certainly given me an adequate share of challenges :-)
